WHAT IS MENTAL HEALTH?
Español
Body
Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It
affects how we think, feel, and act, and helps determine how we handle stress,
relate to others, and make choices.
Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and
adolescence through adulthood. Over the course of your life, if you experience
mental health problems, your thinking, mood, and behavior could be affected.
MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS
Mental illnesses are disorders, ranging from mild to severe, that affect a
person’s thinking, mood, and/or behavior. According to the National Institute of
Mental Health, nearly one-in-five adults live with a mental illness.
Many factors contribute to mental health conditions, including:
* Biological factors, such as genes or brain chemistry
* Life experiences, such as trauma or abuse
* Family history of mental health problems
Some mental health topics include:
* Antisocial personality disorder
* Anxiety disorders (including generalized anxiety, panic disorders,
obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), phobias, and social anxiety)
* Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
* Bipolar disorder
* Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
* Depression
* Eating disorders (including Anorexia Nervosa, binge eating Disorder, and
Bulimia Nervosa)
* Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
* Schizophrenia
* Seasonal affective disorder (SAD)
* Self-harm
* Suicide and suicidal behavior
A Serious Mental Illness (SMI) is a mental illness that interferes with a
person’s life and ability to function. Despite common misperceptions, having an
SMI is not a choice, a weakness, or a character flaw. It is not something that
just “passes” or can be “snapped out of” with willpower.

EARLY WARNING SIGNS & SYMPTOMS
Not sure if you or someone you know is living with mental health problems?
Experiencing one or more of the following feelings or behaviors can be an early
warning sign of a problem:
* Eating or sleeping too much or too little
* Pulling away from people and usual activities
* Having low or no energy
* Feeling numb or like nothing matters
* Having unexplained aches and pains
* Feeling helpless or hopeless
* Smoking, drinking, or using drugs more than usual
* Feeling unusually confused, forgetful, on edge, angry, upset, worried, or
scared
* Yelling or fighting with family and friends
* Experiencing severe mood swings that cause problems in relationships
* Having persistent thoughts and memories you can't get out of your head
* Hearing voices or believing things that are not true
* Thinking of harming yourself or others
* Inability to perform daily tasks like taking care of your kids or getting to
work or school
Do you think someone you know may have a mental health problem? Talking about
mental health can be difficult. Learn about common mental health myths and facts
and read about ways to help you get the conversation started.
TIPS FOR LIVING WELL WITH A MENTAL HEALTH CONDITION
Having a mental health condition can make it a struggle to work, keep up with
school, stick to a regular schedule, have healthy relationships, socialize,
maintain hygiene, and more.
However, with early and consistent treatment—often a combination of medication
and psychotherapy—it is possible to manage these conditions, overcome
challenges, and lead a meaningful, productive life.
Today, there are new tools, evidence-based treatments, and social support
systems that help people feel better and pursue their goals. Some of these tips,
tools and strategies include:
* Stick to a treatment plan. Even if you feel better, don’t stop going to
therapy or taking medication without a doctor’s guidance. Work with a doctor
to safely adjust doses or medication if needed to continue a treatment plan.
* Keep your primary care physician updated. Primary care physicians are an
important part of long-term management, even if you also see a psychiatrist.
* Learn about the condition. Being educated can help you stick to your
treatment plan. Education can also help your loved ones be more supportive
and compassionate.
* Practice good self-care. Control stress with activities such as meditation or
tai-chi; eat healthy and exercise; and get enough sleep.
* Reach out to family and friends. Maintaining relationships with others is
important. In times of crisis or rough spells, reach out to them for support
and help.
* Develop coping skills. Establishing healthy coping skills can help people
deal with stress easier.
* Get enough sleep. Good sleep improves your brain performance, mood and
overall health. Consistently poor sleep is associated with anxiety,
depression, and other mental health conditions.
